Health Screening Changes

PA School Code has been updated to say:

  • BMI (height/weight) screenings will be conducted annually in schools
  • Results of the BMI screening will not be sent home unless requested by the parent/guardian
  • Parents/Guardians can opt their student(s) out of the BMI screening in writing

Please email your school nurse if you have any questions, want to opt your child out of the screening, or if you want to receive the BMI results.

Health and Nursing Services

Our district employs three full time Certified School Nurses (CSN), as well as five licensed nurses who cover the health rooms in each building. Our health room nurses and CSNs provide daily medication administration, first aid and emergency services, as well as collaboration on student health conditions with medical providers, family and the school. 

Our CSNs complete required screenings, teacher training, physicals, track immunizations, provide services to private/parochial schools, and handle day to day medical situations. All district nurses follow the nursing department standard operating procedures as well as both state and federal guidelines. 

Please contact your student's building CSN with any information about:

  • New medical diagnosis or allergies
  • Medication changes
  • Trips to the ER or Hospitalizations
  • Injuries
  • Surgeries
  • Extended Medical Absences
  • Any concerns as a parent or guardian regarding your students health
